The experience of the dreams? Well, that sounds like exactly what I was talking about when I said "If all you're concerned with is being able to say "oh yeah, I dreamed this would happen once" after something happens then no problem - I've had dreams of things that eventually happened". Just your own personal satisfaction of being able to say "Hey, I dreamed this would happen!" - ie the experience of it. But that's the only value a precog dream would have unless they actually show themselves to be more effective in predicting events than random chance.

But even if all you care about is the experience. you still don't know which dreams will come true until after they do. In what way can that be considered anything more than considering the probability of a future event, just as well all do in waking life frequently?
What is the value of anything? It is all about the personal experience when it comes to the dreams and the indirect effects that the dreams may be bringing afterwards. You asked "What value do precognitive dreams have unless they predict events more accurately than random chance"? I did answer that and then said that it was irrelevant to ask because then you would have to say that all dreams don't have a value. You may be just saying what value in the perspective of the deeper meaning and purpose of the intention of them, but it didn't appear that you were trying to cite to that two posts ago.
